I'm interested in creating a unique gallery of images and I'm curious about how to stack them similar to Google and Tumblr.
What I mean is, on an archive page of Tumblr, the images are stacked in columns like this:
However, I also want the images to overlap across columns, similar to a Tumblr theme called Tessellate:
Here's an example of what I'm looking for - keep scrolling to see sections where an image or embedded video spans across 2 columns: (sorry I couldn't find a better example)
Google has a similar layout on Google+ photo pages:
Does this type of design have a specific name? How can I achieve it or where can I look to get these results?
It's almost as if the images are floating on top of each other.
